James Ebanks

James Ebanks learned how to dive at the tender age of 10 with his father, Clinton Ebanks, and brother, Clinton Ebanks Jr. - both of whom are past honourees.

It was during this time that he realised the ocean, and the dive industry, would become his greatest passions in life.Through this early acknowledgment of his desired career path, he joined his brother and father in running the family business - formerly known as Scuba Cayman Limited and did so until 1993. At that time, James acquired his own small craft and started Ebanks Divers, where he has since been providing priceless experiences to visitors of the Cayman Islands.

While James no longer dives as frequently as he did in the last 32 years, he still spends his time in the same place he has his entire life - the ocean. To this day, Ebanks Divers creates unforgettable memories with many returning visitors who have now come to consider Mr. Ebanks and his staff "one of the family". At 42 years old, Mr. Ebanks is incredibly grateful to be receiving this acknowledgment, which he considers to be a family honour and notes that he will always cherish this recognition.
